I have always been creative in some fashion or another. After designing an addition for my house and covering all the walls and ceilings with T&G cedar, I felt like I needed to build something else. But what??
2 years later I build my first box. Then I made a 7' thing to hang towels on (see it in my projects). Then I made a cue case for myself from walnut.
Now I have done my best to kick things into high gear be making custom cue cases of exotic hardwoods.
After joining Lumber Jocks and looking through all your incredible projects I have so many ideas in my head that I can barely get them on paper!
This is by far the most addicting site I have found to date!

Hi All,I have been working with exotic woods for 2 years now and even though I have no allergies I have had some extreme health issues. The last few months have involved some expensive tests with little or no results. My wife is set on the idea of...

Thank you all for welcoming me!I hope I will be able to bring something to the table worth reading here. My father and brother are both into making furniture but I am just getting started in woodworking and I just don’t have the equipment to make large thing like that (yet). I have been adding to my workshop over the last year with my latest addition of a 25 year old 10” Craftsman table saw. A few months ago I picked up a almost un used band saw! I’m getting there but my funds don’t match my needs.I have a vision of building a reputation for making the best high-end cue cases in the country. I have a long way to go but everything has to start somewhere!

I build a nice sized “porch” on the back of my house a few years ago and picked up this free standing fireplace for $100. I only wish I could have found one with a copper top!I lined all the walls and ceiling with 6” T&G ceder to combat the moisture from the hot tub I installed out there. A natural stone surround and platform finish the area off nicely. It’s by far the largest wood working job I have ever tried!
